I'm trying

Day 2 of massive headache.
Reasons for migraine like headache:

a) Too much tension-filled driving in the big city and at fast speeds on windy mountain roads while passing huge transport trucks.

b) Worrying and waiting by the phone for cowardly interviewers to phone telling the unfortunate news.

c) Tossing and turning all night trying to sleep.

d) Thinking about that email I was or wasn’t going to send. (Hun, I sent it. That’s one worry down.)

e) Weariness of being a NLB

f) All of the above


I’ve had these headaches before, not very often. Usually comes from too much swimming, a big knot forms in my shoulder blade and somehow pinches a nerve in my neck. And the pain begins.

Yesterday I just wanted to sleep it off but I had to drive 2 hours to another city, in 40 degree heat in a car with no AC, where my little brother lives. He’s off on a 2 week vacation and needs someone to watch his Cat Empire. He has an older cat Shooz, cranky fat thing that only likes him, and then this new teenage Bengal kitten, Belize. She hasn’t quite figured out the rules on Cat Planet yet. Still believes its okay to pounce on human face in the middle of the night and then and pace back and forth in the hallway...rrrrmeoow rrrrrmeow demanding a chase around the house. Time for Cat Nanny 911. Aunt San's school for wayward cats.

Her favorite toy though, is the laser stud finder. This is very convenient for migraine sufferers, just lie back on the couch, point the red light at the floor, wall, and the cat will chase it around for hours. Cheap lazy entertainment for all.

Anyway, I’m going to have to hit the drugstore today in search for stronger drugs. A proper therapeutic massage would probably help but its Saturday and I’m unfamiliar with this city and its services. Drugs are easier.

Time to lie down again. Sigh.
